These elders also had a mission: to gather details of other families' gift lists and ensure that their own clan never fell behind.

So, the elders of the clans all worked hard to catch up with Jun Qianren, each with an extremely polite smile on their face:

"Is Elder Jun going back in person to prepare a congratulatory gift?"

"As the head of the eight great families, and with the congratulatory gift personally prepared by Elder Jun, this gift must be extraordinary."

"I have a favor to ask. May we have a glimpse of your family's congratulatory gifts?"

Jun Qianren: "...!"

Hey, can you guys please leave me alone?!

I'm rushing to put out a fire!

Jun Qianren's displeasure was exactly what the others had expected. Who would want to reveal their own gift list in advance?

So these people didn't take it to heart and continued to flirt with Jun Qianren.

If it were just one person, Jun Qianren would have risked a complete falling out to drive them away.

But now that the elders of the Azure Water Sect and several major families are present, he cannot afford to offend all of them on his own. If he does, then there is no point in him going to the Northern Region to save the Cold Imperial Sect from the fire, since the Jun family will not benefit from it either way.

Jun Qianren's face was dark with anger, and he was also cursing under his breath.

He had never felt there was anything wrong with Jun Luoying's infatuation with Ling Qing before, but today he realized it:

This woman, driven mad by love, is a ticking time bomb. If she isn't defused soon, she'll blow up the entire clan sooner or later!

No, perhaps this time she'll drag the Jun family into hell!

Meanwhile, Jun Luoying and Chonghua, although they had already traveled a long way, were still shocked by the terrifying phenomena of heaven and earth.

When the wind subsided and the clouds dispersed, they still didn't know whether Ji Fengyao had succeeded or failed in her attempt to break through to the Pill Saint realm.

But in their hearts, they all hoped that Ji Fengyao would fail in her attempt to become a Pill Saint.

Therefore, after the celestial phenomena were restored, they no longer paid much attention to the matter.

They traveled several dozen more miles.

Jun Luoying and Chonghua's group finally encountered the disciples of Hanyu Sect.

To be precise, it was Jun Luoying and Chonghua's forces that ran head-on against Han Yuzong and Yinzong's forces respectively.

Jun Luoying and the people of Han Yuzong traveled the official road, the main road.

Chonghua and the people from the Hidden Sect were walking along a small, adjacent path, a forest path.

The two sides were somewhat taken aback when they suddenly met from all directions.

Jun Luoying: These people are from the Han Yu Sect, but where are Ling Qing and Yun Xiao? Didn't they say they were together?

Chonghua: These people don't look like they belong to the Hanyu Sect. They seem more like they belong to the Hidden Sect. Has the Hidden Sect really emerged?

When Mi Fenghui, Mi Tang'an, and the others saw Chonghua, they were slightly taken aback.

They knew that demons were rampant in the Southern Region, and that they were likely targeting the new sect leader of the Pill Sect, but they hadn't expected the demons to be this rampant. They had only just entered the Southern Region and had already encountered this large group of demons; wasn't this just fate?

Without saying a word, Mi Fenghui, Mi Tang'an, and the other members of the Hidden Sect drew their swords and charged forward.

Chonghua and the other demons had no time to say anything; once they started fighting, it was a battle to the death, including Chonghua.

Is the mortal realm truly the domain of demons?

At the same time, Chonghua was preoccupied with Mi Fenghui and Mi Tang'an, and was too busy to care about the situation on Jun Luoying's side.

Actually, the Jun family is still a righteous and loyal family at this time, so it wouldn't be a problem if Jun Luoying asked politely.

Ling Jie and the others would at most assume that they were strangers, and that the two families would not have any conflict.
